Act now to prevent ME crisis- MLA warns

A Northern Ireland charity has backed a local MLA’s comments that more support is required for sufferers with ME. MLA Robbie Butler has challenged the Stormont Health Minister to “act swiftly to give additional support and facilities to ME sufferers and their carers before such conditions become the next epidemic across Northern Ireland”.
Mrs. Joan McParland from Hope 4 ME and Fibro Northern Ireland told the Ulster Star that the charity receives no funding from the Department of Health.

We are incredibly saddened to share the passing of Dr. Jonas Blomberg, a member of the SMCI researcher family. A leading virologist in Sweden, he was deeply involved in moving the ME/CFS research forward for nearly a decade. His many valuable contributions to the field were amplified by his collaborative, interdisciplinary approach and a passionate dedication to people with ME/CFS.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues around the world. We share in the grief of the entire community.

This is an amazing breakthrough to see the N.I. GP Training Agency advertising the #InvestinME conference.
Sincere thanks to our Medical Education Adviser, Dr. Olivia Beatty for all her hard work.
Other medical training agencies have pledged to do likewise!
Please kindly show appreciation on Twitter.
